    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    I can see what you’re saying. But to be fair, atheists are still just people at the end of the day. Some of them will inevitably take such a route to their beliefs. That said, I wonder if some of it isn’t just a natural result of catharsis. I mean religion can have a big impact on society and...

    End of Greatness?

    I think we tend to magnify the past and then conveniently forget all the downfalls of otherwise great minds. Whilst not to slight the great names of the past, they’re still human and therefore not perfect and that’s fine. But that can give a false impression for us. Given the lists already on...

    Teenage Boy: I Had Transgender Surgery to Become a Woman at Age 19. Four Years Later I'm Back Being a Man.

    Of course. All counselling should be highly regulated and monitored to ensure quality and to try to obtain the highest standards possible at any given time. In Australiastan ours is regulated by the organisation “PCAC.”

    Teenage Boy: I Had Transgender Surgery to Become a Woman at Age 19. Four Years Later I'm Back Being a Man.

    To be fair, several countries disagree with how America handles medicine. (Sorry couldn’t resist.) Disagreement in medicine is healthy and our modern understanding of this phenomenon is fairly recent. It will require a lot more research. People are complicated by nature. That medicine takes a...

    Teenage Boy: I Had Transgender Surgery to Become a Woman at Age 19. Four Years Later I'm Back Being a Man.

    To be fair, that is merely what happens when you apply the capitalist mindset to something. In this case medicine. There is a sensed need in the market, if you like of clients wanting to speed through a process that is supposed to take ages, add into the mix all the laws trying to ban the...

    Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools

    I think what they were pointing out (and again I don’t wish to speak for another, this is just my impression) is that you cited biology as this objective thing that is related thorough a person’s appearance. Something that belies their biological reality. But appearances can be deceptive. And I...

    Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools

    Not to speak for another poster. But I think they were looking for something a bit more specific and indeed “binary” Objectively speaking Okay, for example in Indian culture it is quite “normal” for a male to wear very vibrant and extravagant clothing, including various amounts of jewellery...

    Weird pastimes?

    So way back during the lockdown days (geez, remember those days, guys?) my bored self (and I’m sure many others) found some “interesting” ways to pass the time. I mean streaming and binging shows can only take you so far lol So me being a giant geek and an “true blue, beer blooded Aussie” who...

    Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools

    Well I find reactions are (usually) largely based on how one phrases inquiries. If you phrase things a certain way, you can usually get away with asking some pretty in depth questions about a person. As long as it’s phrased in a non threatening or neutral kind of way. That said, this can differ...

    US school experience vs the world?

    I guess that’s what I’m most curious about. And how that can affect experiences Like I can understand having specific course guidelines based on local things. For example I think our geology and geography programs slightly differ state to state here, simply due the variances in local wildlife...

    Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools

    I got asked all the time growing up, since I was and still am a tomboy. People were usually quick to adjust their responses and how they addressed me because it’s considered polite to refer to a person by what makes them feel happy. At least where I live. It’s also considered to be beyond rude...

    Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools

    I know a couple of (biological) women who might give one a slap if they dared to address them as male, simply because they appear to be masculine. For any number of reasons.

    US school experience vs the world?

    Informative frubal Although social studies and evolution still being met with controversy and/or hesitancy is a little troubling to hear about, ngl I remember as kids we often mimicked this US pop culture of picking on nerds and had our own class clown. Though with that said, we largely grew...

    US school experience vs the world?

    Interesting I think it works the same way here. But obviously with far more oversight from the federal and state governments So, out of curiosity. Do different states have different legal standards for teaching? It just seems like this kind of approach can leave itself open to having varying...

    US school experience vs the world?

    Lol fair enough Wait. Your department of education just manages the grants and scholarships? So they just act as financiers? So there’s no real oversight in the curriculum whatsoever? I mean I guess I kind of knew that to an extent (or at least guessed based on what info I did have) but wow! ...

    SCOTUS rules website designer does not have to design for a gay couple.

    Victimhood pays big bucks in America, apparently? I’m not American so I can only comment on what international news and the internet has told me.
